Either make sure that you've got a valid symbols file at that path, or  
comment out that line of your map-file if you don't need it for labels in  
your map.

The map-file wizard does not produce a complete, ready-to-run map-file. It  
does most of the tedious layer-related stuff, but you must still edit the  
map-file to ensure that projections and paths and other details are valid.  
At least that has been my experience.
